Deploys canary tokens and honeytokens (fake AWS credentials, DNS canaries, document beacons, database records) that trigger alerts when accessed by attackers. Uses the Canarytokens API and custom webhook integrations for breach detection. Use when building deception-based early warning systems for intrusion detection.

Write multi-event correlation rules that detect APT lateral movement by chaining Windows authentication events, process execution telemetry, and network connection logs across hosts. Uses Splunk SPL and Sigma rule format to correlate Event IDs 4624, 4648, 4688, and Sysmon Events 1/3 within sliding time windows to surface attack sequences invisible to single-event detections.

Configure rsyslog for centralized log collection with TLS encryption, custom templates, and log rotation. Generates server and client configuration files with GnuTLS stream drivers, x509 certificate authentication, per-host log segregation, and reliable queue settings for high-availability syslog infrastructure.

Deploy and query Arkime (formerly Moloch) for full packet capture network traffic analysis. Uses the Arkime API v3 to search sessions, download PCAPs, analyze connection patterns, detect beaconing behavior, and identify suspicious network flows. Monitors DNS queries, HTTP traffic, and TLS certificate anomalies across captured traffic.

Implements eBPF-based security monitoring using Cilium Tetragon for real-time process execution tracking, network connection observability, file access auditing, and runtime enforcement. Covers TracingPolicy CRD authoring with kprobe/tracepoint hooks, in-kernel filtering via matchArgs/matchBinaries selectors, JSON event export, and integration with SIEM pipelines. Use when building kernel-level runtime security observability for Linux hosts or Kubernetes clusters.

Implements cloud workload protection using boto3 and google-cloud APIs for runtime security monitoring, process anomaly detection, and file integrity checking on EC2/GCE instances. Scans for cryptomining, reverse shells, and unauthorized binaries. Use when building runtime security controls for cloud compute workloads.

Build an append-only log integrity chain using SHA-256 hash chaining for tamper detection. Each log entry is hashed with the previous entry's hash to create a blockchain-like structure where modifying any entry invalidates all subsequent hashes. Implements log ingestion, chain verification, tamper detection with pinpoint identification, and periodic checkpoint anchoring to external timestamping services.

Implements security chaos engineering experiments that deliberately disable or degrade security controls to verify detection and response capabilities. Tests WAF bypass, firewall rule removal, log pipeline disruption, and EDR disablement scenarios using boto3 and subprocess. Use when validating SOC detection coverage and resilience.

Configures mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication between microservices using Python cryptography library for certificate generation and ssl module for TLS verification. Validates certificate chains, checks expiration, and audits mTLS deployment status. Use when implementing zero-trust service-to-service authentication.
